We are not all 40 for a little lie here and there. Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and Snow White are just a few examples of 41 for parents to keep magic in the world. Magic , imagination and creativity are very essential(必要的) in life, 42 for children. These stories battle against the negative(负面的)aspects of the world and create 43 . In the end children will be able to 44 what is true and what was made to 45 their lives. Take my own experience for example. I have five brothers and a sister and I can happily report that no one of the children I grew up with was 46 when we discovered who all those 47 people really were.
Actually in our life, a parent is the 48 of knowledge, and it is up to the parent to decide what knowledge to teach and when to teach. There is no 49 to tell children all about the truth. As they bee 50 , they will have a better understanding of the world.

party. She set up all the place settings and arranged her table with the great care and elegance (优雅) that only a three-year-old can create. Meanwhile, her Daddy was engrossed in conversation, and as he continued to chat with his family, Tegan would hand him a cup of "tea". Her Daddy, who always tries to participate in her games, would pause for a few seconds from his conversation, and say all the proper words and gestures for her tea party which would thrill Tegan. He would request two lumps of sugar. He would tell her how wonderful her tea tasted, and then he would continue his adult conversation with his family.
After going through this routine several times, her Daddy suddenly awoke to reality as he had a flash of concern in his mind: "She is only three years old, where is she getting this ‘tea’ that I've been dutifully drinking?" He quietly followed her without her knowing, and his fears were growing stronger as he saw her turn and go through the bathroom door. Sure enough, there she was stretching up on her tippy toes reaching up to get her ‘tea’ water -- out of the container(容器) of water that grandpa used to soak his false teeth!

A．watched their favorite TV programs

The four children, all fifth graders in Miss Rasmussen's Grand Canyon School, are as different as any other 11-year-old child could be, but they have one thing in mon ― all are somewhat separated from their classmates and have a poor relationship with them. Sam is a newer and has had his share of school trouble before; Kelsey quietly carries her pain at losing her father; Judy's sense of justice always annoys others; Brenton is the smartest child in the school, so smart that even his parents and teachers have trouble keeping up with him. When Brenton and his three classmates are put into the same study group by their teacher, the others discover that Brenton has made a time-saving gadget(装置) to do homework for him. Although the boy is perfectly able to do his homework himself, Sam, Kelsey and Judy can use his help.
Having perfect grades is something new for these three, and as they meet every day to "do homework", they find that they're learning a lot about each other. Such a good thing can't last though, and when a secret man starts trying to get in touch with them, they begin to get nervous. Soon there's an even more frightening problem ? why can't the Homework Machine be turned off?
Told in different voices as all the children make statements to the Grand Canyon Police, the story develops in an interesting fashion. Gutman is a gifted writer who has written dozens of children's books, each with a funny and impressing table that should be equally liked by boys and girls.
55. What is one mon thing that all the four children have to deal with at school?

Anger is not wrong. I know this statement seems shocking and challenges the wildly popular "Positive (积极正面的) Thinking" movement, which encourages us to "be full of positive energy" and "let go of our anger." However, the truth is that anger is just an emotion, and emotions are neither right nor wrong. We do not consciously(有意识地) choose them. We do, on the other hand, choose how we express our emotions and there are definitely right and wrong means of expression.
The reason why we're often advised to "keep a lid on" our anger is that few people ever learn proper and positive ways to express anger. Instead, we are taught that "anger is wrong" and "you should keep your anger inside". But these messages don't change the fact that for most of us, anger exists.
Many popular "Positive Thinking" programmes assume that suess es from "controlling our emotions" and that this can be done by simply repeating positive statements. Interestingly, these positive slogans (口号) often include a lot of negativity(消极负面性). "Only losers plain(抱怨)! I am a winner!" is one popular saying. The belief that those who disagree with us are losers is actually quite negative and is often used as an excuse for rude language and personal attacks.
When it es to dealing with negative situations in our daily lives, the ability to reasonably express anger or disagreement is an important skill. But we must use balanced and non-violent methods to express our dissatisfaction. Frustration (挫折) at unfair policies or treatment can certainly cause anger, but our anger can never be an excuse for abusing (虐待) family members, damaging schools, attacking doctors or most seriously, engaging in terrorism (恐怖主义).
Instead of pretending that anger doesn't exist, we should start teaching appropriate (恰当的) means of dealing with anger. When we experience angry feelings in ourselves or others, what we should "let go of" is the silly idea that we can remove anger with just a few sweet words. Instead, we should find reasonable solutions to the causes of those angry feelings. We need to aept anger as a natural emotion but stop using it as an excuse for violent (暴力的)and destructive (破坏性的)behavior. Anger isn't wrong, but failure to deal with it appropriately is.
59. What is the writer’s opinion about the “Positive Thinking ” movement?
A. It can help people control their negative feelings.
B. It does not offer useful solutions for dealing with anger.
C. Simply following it’s advice can improve people’s chances of suess.
D. Most of the people who participate in such programmes are dishonest.
60. The underlined expression “ keep a lid on” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_______”.
A. freely express B. always five
C. hold back and keep inside D. pletely fet
61. Aording to the writer, the best way to deal with anger is to ______.
A. understand the cause of the problem and act appropriately
B. ignore the cause and hope that the anger will go away
C. respond to the cause with positive energy and words
D. let the anger out freely until you finally feel relaxed.
62. What information is useful to add to the final paragraph?
A. The names of some good books that talk about anger issues.
B. The viewpoints of people who hold the opposite opinion to the writer.
C. Different studies that provide some evidence supporting the writer’s beliefs.
D. Some examples of how to deal with anger in a positive and beneficial way.

D
Facebook (脸谱网) friends cannot replace the real thing, say psychologists(心理学家).
　　People are happier and laugh 50% more when they talk face to face with friends or via webcam (web camera) than when they use social working sites, a study has found.
　　Dr. Roberts, a famous lecturer at the University of Chester, said such websites don't appear to help make true friendships. Based on two questionnaires(调查表), he found there was no link between Facebook use and people with larger groups of friends.
　　Dr. Roberts, whose work will be presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Harrogate, said, "The bottom line conclusion is that our relationships are not dependent on the quantity of munication. They depend on quality, and even Skype(一种网络即时语音沟通工具) is better at increasing the quality of our munication than time on Facebook." Even talking on the phone or texting does not make people feel as good as sharing a smile, the research says. The studies suggest quality, not quantity, of munication is the most important for keeping friends for life.
　　People find the most satisfying relationships e from a small number of close friends, with an outer "ring" of 10 significant others. With these people, it doesn't matter what type of social media you use for munication. But people who want to "contact the world at large" using Facebook can be disappointed because they spread themselves too thinly, claim researchers.
　　In a third study, Dr. Roberts asked people to municate with friends face to face or via Skype and keep a 14-day diary. This was pared with municating via phone, text messages or social working sites. People municating face to face on Skype were 50% more likely to laugh, and they rated themselves as significantly happier.
63. Dr. Roberts's finding that there was no connection between Facebook use and people with many friends was ________.
　　A. based on questionnaires B. based on conversations
　　C. through instant messages D. through social media
64. What is the idea of the fourth paragraph?
　　A. Most people contact each other online.
　　B. Keeping a friend for life is not easy.
　　C. The quality of munication is important.
　　D. Skype is better at understanding us than Facebook.
65. What does the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph probably suggest?
　　A. They are too excited to express themselves.
　　B. They limit their social circle to a small range.
　　C. They spread their information at a low speed.
　　D. They lack information to introduce themselves.
66. What is Dr. Roberts's attitude towards the use of Facebook?
　　A. Positive. B. Casual. C. Responsible. D. Unsupportive.

England---a letter from a passenger on the Titanic, written just hours before the ship hit an iceberg and sank on its first voyage , was sold at auction(拍卖) on April 26th for 119,000 pounds ($200,000).
It was written by British survivors Esther Hart and her seven-year-old daughter Eva who had been travelling in Second Class on their way to a new life in Canada. Henry Aldridge and Son, who conducted the auction, said the price was believed to be a record for a Titanic letter.” There was a lot of interest,” said a spokesman. “We have sold other letters from the Titanic but none have reached anything like this price.”
The Titanic sank on the night of Sunday, 14 April, 1912, on the fifth day of its first voyage from Southampton to New York. Over 1,500 passengers and crew lost their lives in the tragedy (悲剧)，including Hart’s husband Benjamin.
The letter, written on special letter paper headed On board RMS“Titanic”and put in an envelope printed with the White Star Line flag, was to be sent to Esther’s mother in Chadwell Heath, East London. It tells how Esther Hart was suffering the effects of sea-sickness and feeling the cold.
“My dear ones,” it begins. “As you see, it is Sunday afternoon and we are resting in the library after lunch. I was very bad all day yesterday, could not eat or drink and was sick all the while, but today I have got over it. The sailor say we have had a wonderful journey up to now. It is very nice weather but very windy and cold.” She adds, “ They say we may get to New York on Tuesday night but we are really due early Wednesday morning. I shall write as soon as we get there.”
The letter, with a cheery goodbye from young Eva at the bottom, survived because it had been in the pocket of her husband’s coat, which was given to his wife to keep her warm as they escaped from the ship. He didn’t survive the disaster. Esther and Eva, who later recalled the ship’s last hours in her autobiography(自传) Shadow of the Titanic, were rescued by HMS Carpathia.
In her book, Eva wrote of her mother, “The letter she had written that Sunday afternoon on the Titanic was never posted. She found it in the pocket of my father’s sheepskin-lined coat after we had been rescued and for her it was to remain a constant reminder of that tragic journey and the loss of her husband.
Eva died in 1996, aged 91.
67. What was unexpected about the letter aording to Henry Aldridge and Son?
A. The writer of the letter.
B. The envelope of the letter.
C. The date when the letter was written.
D. The high auction price of the letter.
68. During the journey Esther Hart ____________.
A. enjoyed a lot of food and drink
B. ever took a break in the library
C. enjoyed the sights in the sea
D. felt easy because of the warm weather
69. Without the disaster, Esther’s mother would have received another letter dated_____________.
A. 14 March, 1912 B. 15 April, 1912
C. 17 April, 1912 D. 18 May, 1912
70. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Esther and Eva escaped from the Titanic.
B. Esther Hart’s experience on the Titanic.
C. A Titanic letter sells for 119,000 pounds.
D. A letter from the Titanic was never posted.
